If the Tigers lose the next three at Oakland, Leyland WILL NOT manage the Tigers as long as he wants. He will be gone.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:37:33 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=234112#comment-378479Leyland should thank Terry Francona for signing early with the Tribe. Without a time tested option out there, Jimmy’s job appears to be safe.

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:25:14 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=234112#comment-378446As to why they would want someone other than Leyland, you know you will need someone else sooner or later. If there is someone out there that you have your eye on, and he becomes available this offseason, they may want to sign him up (in some capacity, at least) to get him in the fold, rather than let him get away to some other team.
